Will Bradley be the same fighter?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I just rewatched Bradley vs Provodnikov, and wow, he was taken to hell and back in that fight by the unheralded Russian.

I'm really intrigued to see how he performs against Marquez, because after the beating he took against Provodnikov, I find it hard to believe that he'll be the same fighter.

Bradley has always had a good chin, but Provodnikov probably weakened it somewhat, which can only spell trouble against Marquez's hard, well aimed, counter shots. It's going to be interesting to see how Bradley takes Marquez's best shots, especially considering Marquez is coming off a huge KO victory over an iron chinned fighter.

I expect Bradley to win, because Marquez is old, and I doubt Bradley will want to engage too often, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is stropped in the mid to late rounds either.

If he fights smart he should beat Marquez, but I feel his scrappy style might suit Marquez over the course of the fight.

i'm gonna give Timmy a pass on that performance for a couple of reasons;


1. he took a really long layoff after the PAC fight and the rust was evident
2. im sure, no matter how professional he approached that fight, it's not the same as getting up for a Manny Pacquiao as it was for Provodnikov


i'll be rooting for him in his fight against JMM

What?? If he won four belts, then he's a four time world champion..

The rest of this trash post sounds of someone who is a casual and has no idea how hard it its too win four championships in a loaded div..Writer was avoided by Hatton for yrs, I've never thought of him as a fraud..Khan, lol how's his career going??

This post is comical..

Are you ******? Do you know what it means to be a multi champion? When you unify a division, you are not a "two-time world champion" and you call me a casual. Using your logic Wladimir Klitschko is a 7 time HW champion of the world. "Witter was avoided by Hatton" - are you being serious right now?

Are you using Khan's current situation to cloud the fact that Bradley did go on his bike and drove as fast as he could away from him? As if I could care less how his career is going now, he will always be 100x more entertaining to watch than Bradley. Fact is, Bradley turned down a career high payday and the chance to become the #1 at 140. He didn't want any peace of Khan.

The fact that you can't even spell "Witter" backs up my point. Up until the Bradley fight, he was fighting at domestic level before being gifted a vacant title shot, though having only just fought for the British and Euroean titles.

Hows that math class working out for you?

Alright, let me break it down for you rook..

You become a 4 time world champion by winning a belt, losing and winning it back 4 times. Not by unifying a division. That makes you a 4 time ABC title holder.

Alternatively, like Bradley has done, you can vacate your titles, fight for them again or move up in weight. If you manage to win, you are then a two time world champion.

piss drinker is too old for Bradley
the big Pac KO was piss drinker's last hurrah
Bradley will outwork him for a boring, uneventful UD
he's not a big enough puncher to do anything to Bradley
don't expect him to get off much in the fight

grow up m8

1st if you have won four belts you are a four time champion dumbass.. Watch when Bradley is introduce or talked about, he will be consider a four time champion..Lmao..

How was Khan his career high payday?? Did you miss when Bradley was paid a total of 6mill to sign with TR??I would not expect someone who talks as ****** as you do to understand any of the business side of boxing tho..Khan was not the better option for Bradley..End of story..

Here you go,Witter, sorry for the misspelled name, but I'm on a phone at work..Not in my home on the computer..Anyway,Witter was ranked number 1 at Jr WW Hatton never fought him..He was Hatton mandatory Hatton never fought him, like i said avoided..Not saying Witter is some p4p fighter,b but Hatton definitely avoided that fight..similar how you feel Bradley avoided Khan..I guess one suits ya fancy more then the other tho..

Anyway, where getting off topic, which is you saying Bradley is a hype job(out whatever) which is completely ridicules..

Are you seriously that dumb? Is Lennox Lewis considered a 5 time world champion or a 2 time world champion? Is Wladimir Klitschko considered a 2 time world champion or a 5 time world champion? Is David Haye considered a 3 time CW champion or just a two time champion (CW & HW)? Can you not tell something sounds wrong?

Right, so khan offered Bradley $1,3m which was far in excess of anything he'd ever made before. This was for Khan's july 2011 fight. Bradley declined saying :"What if I lose?" - he then chose to sign with top rank after the casamayor fight, because he was promised Pacquiao and a career high payday. But this was after Khan. Being a Bradley lover, I feel like you should know this.

Hatton didn't duck Witter, please don't make me laugh. Nobody in Britain has ever taken that club level fighter seriously. Hatton chose to unify with Malignaggi and then fight pacquiao. I mean, Witter must really scare him!

Dude if Lewis called himself a5 time champion do you believe anyone would argue it, if he won a total of five belts then yes he or anyone else can call him a 5 time champion..

Bradley made 1.2 to fight Alexander so where do you get he had not made the kinda money Khan was offering?? Bradley signed to TR and instantly made more money then that..Casamayor was a TR fight that he made 1.2mill for..Then made 5mill to fight PAC..No matter how ya slice it TR was the better offer..As a Bradley hater I would think you would know that, our maybe you did and this is just part of the hate..

I never said Hatton ducked Witter, cause Hatton made smart business moves..I do however believe he avoided Witter..There were a few times when that fight made since and it did not happen..

We're still off track tho, ya claim that Bradley is a hype job(or whatever) is still ridicules..

If he is the same fighter he was in the Provodnikov fight he will have a short career. He did not fight a smart fight. When was it where boxers started trading with punchers?

When they become boxing pariahs for being on the gift end of a bad decision and have to fight their way back into contention?

I can't see how he didn't take neurological damage during that fight.

It's not something I ever want to see him do again.
